Tippmann actually made one with 10 barrels mounted onto a off road go cart. Hell Survivor of Michigan owns it.

if you could afford one of those things chances are your expecting to sling lots of paint. those are awesome as cover fire on a vehicle or if youve got a burly player willing to play with it. it would be a hell of a chalenge bunkering someone with it lol.

Damon at Scenario Dreams is making one that actually fires using electronically controlled timing. It is Ion based. The thread is in the custom guns section of Pbn.

Meh.. Tippmann had a minigun on their Tippmann buggy years ago. Can't remember how many barrels, but I believe it was 8. The barrels rotated using a Dewalt cordless drill connected by a chain to the barrel cylinder. The air source was a large, regulated scuba tank. IIRC it was gravity fed by a hopper that held 2 cases of paint. The hopper sat way up above the gun, next to the diver's head and the paint fed down a flex tube to the top of the gun. The was mounted on a swivel in front of the passenger.

Not 100% sure about the operation but it appeared that the air source was set up to fire the barrel was in the "firing" rotation. Once the air supply was on the gunner simply had to pull the trigger on the drill to start the barrels rotating. An empty barrel would pick up a paintball, which then rotated to the position where the air was supplied I THINK this actuated a air supply valve which would in turn shoot the ball. The process was then repeated for the next barrel in the cycle.

Not sure how well it worked b/c I never actually saw it in action, but I'm sure it worked.

Nah, didn't work. The entire "hellhound" was just for show...

Really? hmmm, that stinks... I saw it in person once and it looked rather convincing and really really cool. But I never did see it in action on the field, I just thought they were afraid that it would get dirty or something. ;)

I guess there is still a paintball niche that hasn't been filled, yet...

This guy looks like he is on his way but that thing looks complicated and expensive, but most of all.. heavy!

Oh, almost forgot...

A VERY long time ago (circa 1992, yeah, I'm that old :) ) I saw some guy at a woodsball tourney with a minigun that he had created. He hadn't worked out the feeding (obviously) but it was 6 barrelled and was powered by a motorcycle battery. He did demo it running and shooting air but I never actually saw it shoot paint. Wonder what ever happened to that guy?
